I am a Psychic!

I recently came to the realization that I am, in fact, a psychic.  What separates me from others that believe in psychic powers is that I am also a skeptic.  How did I realize that I had the powers to deduce things before they were revealed to others?  Scientific tests.  I have repeated these tests and have come to the same conclusion.  Thus, I believe in my exceptional powers.  I may apply to the FBI or CIA and see if they can make use of these abilities of mine so that they can solve crimes or even prevent crimes from happening.  You may still not believe that I am a psychic, but I will give my testimony of one recent example below:

A few days ago, I was speaking to my mother.  I hadn't heard about any news related to this...but my mother told me that there had just been an attack on US Marines in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  Now you may not believe this, but I immediately blurted out, "By a Muslim, right?"

Fast-forward to now, and it has been revealed that indeed a Muslim committed that crime!  I looked up statistics, and fewer than 1% of Americans are Muslim, and this is also true for the Chattanooga Metropolitan Statistical Area.  So basically, my answer was like having a number from 1 to 100 on the bottom of a card and then me guessing a number, flipping the card over, and finding that I guessed the exact right number!  Amazing!

I can only imagine how helpful I can be to the FBI and CIA with this ability.  Even now, I am hearing from many news outlets that the "motive is unclear at the moment".  However, immediately, a motive popped into my head.  One article's headline even originally read, "Chattanooga gunman’s motive remains a mystery, authorities say".  I may be of valuable service!  This must be what the highly-paid US government detectives say as information comes in:

A: Another attack!  Do we have any information about the attacker or the motive?
B: Well, we found the attacker, but the motive remains a mystery.
A: OK. Let's walk through the data.  What's the man's name?
B: Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez
A: Hmm...  Just another American.  Drat!  We'll have to dig deep with this one!  Where is he from?
B: He's from Kuwait.
A: Oh, Kuwait... So he's not an American... Hmm... But that still gives us no clue as to his motive. Did he travel anywhere recently?
B: Just the Middle East...
A: Damn! No luck so far! Did he post anything on his blog before the murders?
B: “Brothers and sisters don’t be fooled by your desires, this life is short and bitter and the opportunity to submit to allah may pass you by.”
A: He must have been on to us.  He didn't leave any clues.  That rascal!
B: I know.  He is hard to read.  He's just the average Joe.  He must have just been insane.
A: That must be it.  It's too bad that we have gained absolutely no evidence of a motive so far.  Keep me informed if you find anything compelling.
B: Will do.

Sokal-style hoaxes work for religious postmodernists, but (post) modernism is the real hoax Modernism in art and architecture, and postmodernism in philosophy are, like religion, insults to human intelligence.  Unfortunately, many people fall for their hollow propaganda. The "Sokal Affair" was a hoax whereby a man called Alan Sokal submitted a postmodern-sounding article to a postmodern journal.  It turns out that the English you hear isn't just unintelligible to you, but it's unintelligible to the people at the journal as well.  But if it's unintelligible, it must be profound, right?  The journal quickly accepted it, not knowing that it was all fake B.S.  They then got embarrassed when they were told that it was pompous-sounding drivel. Religion has done the same thing.  When people can't understand something, they generally think it's much more profound than if they can understand it.  If a priest speaks Latin, wears some weird costume, and sp...

The Islamic State has beheaded at least 21 Christians in Libya.

Whenever a Muslim brings up the Crusades, I have to laugh to myself.  Christians have done horrible things, including in later crusades against Constantinople and the Cathars in particular.  However, get this.  The Islamic State militants said, "Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for" right before butchering Egyptian Christians. It seems that many Muslims haven't taken a single history class.  If they had, they would have known that Christians existed in Egypt for 400 years before Islam.  (Heck, they were even around to murder Hypatia, perhaps the last major ancient female philosopher.)  It was the Muslims who were the "Crusaders"...yet almost nobody will admit to this.  Muslims instigated a merciless war against Christian Egyptians until they were overcome and under Islamic domination.  They did this to people across the world, from Spain to India...massacring any who resisted.  They tried to destroy the Byzaintine Em...
Fighting Klanophobia I'm always hurt when I see bigots offend groups of people.  All too often, people paint a group, "the other" with a broad brush and stereotype them as being evil, even though the crimes that are associated with them are only committed by a tiny minority fringe element within the larger group. Such is the case with the Ku Klux Klan.  Most people don't like to associate with them.  There is a lot of prejudice directed towards that group, particularly among blacks and Jews, but this hate is widespread.  If you see a klansman wearing his cultural garb, how do you feel?  Do you become nervous?  Do you think that he'll do something violent?  If so, you're part of the problem. The KKK is an organization of peace.  Most of its members are peaceful and only want to go about their lives without being harmed...like most people in this world.  Sure, there are a few members who preach hate, but that's true in almost every grou...
